My 1st assignment at Databeet (2012) was via X (formerly Twitter) before I registered with the Chamber of Commerce. I shouted on X (formerly Twitter):
'I'm going to start a company and who wants to be my 1st customer?'
Within a few minutes I had my first customer and I had to register with the Chamber of Commerce. My first assignment was a SPSS assignment where I cleaned up a file, taught the client how to make syntaxes and helped her prepare the file for when the questionnaires all would be merged, and the analysis could begin.
This assignment was via a Facebook group in which there was a call from an Uwv employee, who was looking for help in digitizing her questionnaire for self-employed people in the region. I shouted that I could help her with survey monkey, and I made an appointment with her. This resulted in 2 assignments:
Analyzing the questionnaires after digitizing it
And teaching WordPress to her partner.
Social media is a good way to get clients if I use it whise. When I was doing the project Reality Keeper I realized that I don't have to be on all social media. Nowadays they are all looking more and more like each other. In my opinion I get more out of X (formerly Twitter). This is why the social media I am on is X (formerly Twitter).
